Brian David Crane [1] who is looking for a house in the downtown area. In a unique approach, he wants to tap into the local blogosphere to get information and seek advice on buying a house in the downtown area.

He said in an e-mail he's looking for advice from "everyone from Mechanicsville to Old North Knoxville to 4th & Gay to loft dwellers."

He also said this: "If you want to include a bit about me, just say that I am a UT student with more time than money who is looking to go into one of the downtown neighborhoods in order to purchase and renovate a house."

Leave a comment here for him or e-mail him at: brian(at)briandavidcrane.com.

BTW, check out his travels [2].

P.S. My apologizes for using this outlet for house hunting but I knew some folks here could help him.
